Federalism is:
A.not a component of the US Constitution.
B.patriotism towards one's country.
C.a system in which two or more governments share power over the same constituents.
D.a system that gives the federal government most of the powers in the country.
Federalism limits government by creating two sovereign powers—the
national government and state governments—thereby restraining the
influence of both. Separation of powers imposes internal limits by
dividing government against itself, giving different branches separate
functions and forcing them to share power.
